Importing from 5 to 7 and loosing EVENT condition formatting on drop-down selection

Restore conditional visibility for dropdown selections after migrating from CF5 to CF7.

Overview

The form importer does not transfer event-based conditional formatting, causing all hidden sections to display simultaneously.
Use the Events behavior in the dropdown field to reconfigure the conditional visibility rules for each section.

I have a form set up in 5 that has a conditional dropdown selection with 4 options.  Depending on which option you choose from that dropdown, one of 4 hidden sections appears asking the user to fill in that section - the others remain hidden.

I have imported the form into 7, but this conditional "EVENT" formatting doesn't seem to have copied over and I can find no place in the initial dropdown or the 4 blocks to set any type of conditions - so all 4 of the optional sections now appear one after the other.  The major problem is that many of the fields are mandatory, and now the form cannot be submitted because the mandatory fields of the other three irrelevant sections are showing on the screen and have to have something in them.....

HELP!

Yes, the importer from v5 will not import all features, this is noted.

You need to use the Events behavior in your dropdown field to setup the same scenario
